So, I have lost about 50 pounds. (Techincally 48.8, but close enough.) I told this to my friends, that I did this in 10 weeks, and she said I’ll lose another 50 in three months.
OMG, its possible that I could lose 100 pounds by my birthday! (July 9th).
That seems incomprehensible to me. Then again, i cant really tell that Ive lost 50 pounds. My body image has always been around a size 18/20ish, around 220 (or, what I was around age 21ish.) So, I have another 50 pounds to get to that point. Which, would be 100 pounds from my highest.
It all seems so abstract. I like seeing the number on the scale go down, but Im not seeing that much difference when I look in the mirror. (Besides the hair, but thats another issue, im dealing with the short hair. :-) I hope that it will change when I start doing harder workouts (aka, I cant do weights until 3 months out), so hopefully doing weights and building muscle will change my body composition.
Im also worried about getting to a goal weight below what I am comfortable with. If my outward body matchines my inward body at 220, how will I feel at 200? or 199, or 160? Will i sabotage my weight loss to stay where I am comfortable? I dont know, and I hope not :-)
